More Info: Introducing Identity/Content Verification Reporting & Lookup
Is there a particular reason that you're asking for social media verification? Was this article lifted from elsewhere?
Hive allows people to remain anonymous. If they do not wish to reveal their identities, they have a right to do so. Nobody should be required to verify their identity to a single anonymous person who acts as an authority, which is approved by a small minority of people with a large stake. Are you willing to verify your identity?
Stop harassing our users for no reason. You're making active, engaging users leave the blockchain. Stop destroying what is left of this platform.
I'm glad they're challenging her. She has been posting nothing but Ai generated or content by others in threads, so I checked her blog. After thinking it sounded too polished for the content she typically shares I checked it on a free plagiarism checker. It came out clean, but it's more likely she pays to have the same checker service rewrite it for her, so it appears to be original. Notice the topics... None of her topics are original in any way. It's all topics typical spammers use, because it's been extensively written about by early bloggers. HW uses better paid services to check content and have found it elsewhere, so requires she proves it's her content. I bet it isn't and she's been lying to and stealing from everyone, including you for quite a while
Thanks for sharing this information. I'm interested to see whether they actually put up a source. There's been a long history of abuse on their behalf, but I certainly do acknowledge and appreciate when they catch someone legitimate.
I think they used to add the source, but the comment came across as being too accusatorial, so they just went with this to ask them to verify rather than pointing fingers right off the bat. Other users were taking it as proof of plagiarism in the past and attacked people. This more laid back approach has limited witch hunts by those who come across these comments on content. It's an innocent until proven guilty approach
I'd consider it innocent until proven guilty if they didn't automatically start downvoting all of a user's posts. Asking first without downvoting is non-accusatory. This is among the big issues I've had with them - they punish before even giving people an opportunity to reply. This scares innocent people away.
I do disagree with those who witch hunt, of course. Proof first! Enact justice the right way.
To be honest, they did already find proof of plagiarism and it's on her to prove it wasn't. The biggest argument is that no one is guaranteed rewards, whether or not it's original, so it's not really a punishment. I disagree with them, but the largest accounts disagree with us and they have the power. This is just an investment to them and they'll say that they are simply protecting it. Now again I disagree, but if code allows it it's the law
Frankly I'm against having a centralized entity doing this job, controlled by one person. Not to mention the fact that this entity is earning A LOT more in DHF funds than they protect by downvoting (primarily) tiny users, but that's besides the point.
This entity alone is the most centralized aspect of Hive, and frankly functions as its own worst enemy, despite the good intentions with which it began.
If we have decentralized entities (individuals) doing the same downvoting, you wouldn't hear opposition from me.
Hope that makes sense, because I'm not against the downvoting mechanism (and the concept of "rewards aren't guaranteed") in general.
